Trait-like characteristics of sleep EEG power spectra in adolescents across sleep opportunity manipulations.

ABSTRACT: The electroencephalographic power spectra of non-rapid eye movement sleep in adults demonstrate trait-like consistency within participants across multiple nights, even when prior sleep deprivation is present. Here, we examined the extent to which this finding applies to adolescents who are habitually sleep restricted on school-days and sleep longer on weekends. We evaluated 78 adolescents across three sleep restriction groups who underwent different permutations of adequate sleep (9 hr time-in-bed), sleep restriction (5 hr time-in-bed), afternoon naps (1 hr afternoon) and recovery sleep (9 hr time-in-bed) that simulate behaviour on school-days and weekends. The control group comprised a further 22 adolescents who had 9 hr of sleep opportunity each night. Intra-class correlation coefficient
